Duke Forest is a neighborhood in Durham, North Carolina, named after the wealthy Duke family, whose name and fortune founded Duke University.Full of gracious mid-century modern homes and manicured lawns, it is replete with lawn signs for Black Lives Matter (blm), neighborly inclusivity, and progressive political candidates.At the same time, a White friend, who no longer lives in Duke Forest, recently told me that her former Black handy man was gi…
Introduction Quotidian Futures
At the 2022 Essence Awards actor and Oscar nominee Aunjanue Ellis wore a red Dolce & Gabbana suit with the word “Queer” written in rhinestones on her left arm. In the article “‘King Richard’ Star Aunjanue Ellis on Her Unapologetic Black and Bisexual Pride,” Ellis chronicles her invisibility as a Black queer woman. She shares that “people fail to recognize [that] she's part of the LGBTQ community,” perhaps because of her age (53) and/or her geogra…

Plantation tourism reveals how participants negotiate the layers of the past and the present—bringing in new and tense forms of engagement with a dismissal of the past (and present), of consuming it, an…
Making Life
This essay examines representations of labor in Caribbean literature through the lens of feminist rehearsal, a term I have conceived, to argue that work is a central location in understanding Caribbean women's belonging and power and that it connects them to the sexual and political economies of the region. With feminist rehearsal, I employ the same trope from several vantage points to reach a fuller understanding of the implications of the relat…
